Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, I am really astonished by the gall of the Conservatives. They have the temerity to talk about the road trips of regular Canadians, when they racked up a charge of $426,283 in Canadians' money travelling to their own convention. The member for Central Okanagan—Similka

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, I am so glad that the Conservatives are raising questions about the cost of living and the lives of Canadians, because it gives me an opportunity to point out that inflation was 2.7% in April. That is the fourth month in a row that inflation has been within the Bank

Taxation Mr. Speaker, the Conservative leader has quite proudly and publicly called for the Governor of the Bank of Canada to be fired. Maybe it is the Conservative leader who should lose his job because he just revealed his astonishing ignorance of the Bank of Canada's inflation target.
